This little cutie patootie grew up to be a BAD singer. She was really popular in the late ’80s and early ’90s era and her voice is very melodic and beautiful. She has been nominated for a Grammy and she’s sold millions of albums throughout her career. Here’s one last hint, she’s covered many songs of some of the greatest R&B singers around and she’s no stranger to making her life public.

Look closely at her cute little cheeks and see if you can figure this one out. The answer is below…

Who’s The Little Girl?

Shanice had plenty hits throughout the late ’80s and ’90s…and it’s wonderful that she’s back on the scene still singing her heart out to this day.

In case you haven’t heard, Shanice; along with her husband of 21, comedic actor Flex; and their entire family — well, maybe not her whole family, but a bunch of them — were living under one roof on the OWN network reality show, Flex and Shanice.

On the show, we got to witness how Flex and Shanice were rebuilding their careers after being out of the spotlight for a minute. They revealed, in a heart breaking confession on their reality show, that they were struggling really hard financially for a while, but that the show has helped them to start getting some things back on track. We also watched them doing their thing, such as seeing moments of Shanice recording in the booth like this…

And y’all know we couldn’t end this without including one of our favorite Shanice Wilson jams. That woman can SANG. Enjoy…

ILOSM family, if you’re a true Old Schooler, then you definitely remember when Shanice Wilson had us singing, “Do-do-do-do-doooo-do-do-DOO/ Do-do-do-do-doooo-do-do-DOO/ Do-do-do-do-doooo-do-do-DOO-Do-Doo…I love your smile.” Well that was in 1991, when beepers, rope chains, Fini-sheen Oil spray, and door knocker earrings were ‘in.’ It was also when Shanice was 17 years old, with no kids, nor husband- just a young, carefree queen singing her heart out and MAN can she SANG!

Welp, now that we took that brief trip back down memory lane, let’s fast forward to today. Shanice is now 45 years old, married to her husband/actor, Flex Alexander, are happily celebrating the latest rite of passage that their daughter, Imani, just embarked upon- her prom.

While it’s hard to believe that it’s already been 19 years since Shanice and Flex jumped the broom in 1990, it’s even harder to believe just how fast time has flown by with their eldest child, Imani (they also have a 14 year old son, Elijah). The Mr. and Mrs. have just shared their proud parent moments of Imani and her date on prom day…and to say she looked absolutely grown and gorgeous is an understatement….

Remember singer, Shanice Wilson? She’s the R&B songbird with the voice like butter, who had us belting out “I Love Your Smile” at the top of our lungs back in the day. [*singing* “Do, do, do, do, doo, do-do-doo….”C’mon now don’t get me started!]

Flex and Shanice and Shanice have managed to do what many celebrity couples unfortunately cannot-  they’ve been happily married for 17 years now and also have two wonderful children, Imani and Elijah, as well. They wed on Valentines Day 2000 and today (2-20-17) they posted these messages on Instagram and their fans have been sending them congrats and happy notes ever since:

And who said Black love doesn’t last?!! That wasn’t true for “James and Florida Evans”…

And it definitely ain’t true for Shanice and Flex Alexander neither!

It’s a beautiful thing to see how far they’ve come They’ve endured some great struggles during their marriage, but their unconditional love for each other and for their children continues to pull them through. Wishing them many, many more wedding anniversaries to come!

And this is very random, but because “Keep Your Inner Child Alive,” is one of our all time favorite Shanice songs, here at ILOSM, we’ll close this article out with this. Sing Shanice!…
